Summary/Artist Statement
"Pandora's Box: A Cartoony Retelling" is an animated comedic take on the myth of Pandora's Box, where instead of God personally gifting the box of chaotic power to a single mortal, we have two stooges that end up coming across the relic by chance, trying to make a quick buck, without realizing what mayhem it can cause until it's too late.
This short film is a more goofy retelling of the myth of Pandora's Box, in the form of a cartoon. While the tone is a lot more light-hearted, the lessons to be learned from it are still quite serious. Humans will continue to make the same mistakes when they become tempted by greed.
